Famous quotes containing the words modern, day and/or open:
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
““Interesting, but futile,” said his diary,
Where day by day his movements were recorded
And nothing but his loves received inquiry....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“If we keep an open mind, too much is likely to fall into it.”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
